Most murders seem so distant and unconnected. This one feels different.

I wish we felt more connected in this way to all the other victims. We might be willing to take more action.
Speaking of Theresa Ellis, Sister Lebowski and I were reading the obits this morning in the paper and we read through hers. It mentions her husband Nathan in a couple of places. I recall seeing him interviewed on the TV the other day and he was saying how she spoke with him on the phone not long before the shooting and she expressed her love for him. Here is the obit:

Then we read the obit for Brad Frantz (another shooting victim) and it mentions in the first line that he died "with the love of his life Teresa, in each others arms".

Huh? What's going on here?
